Sarah, NY took a census every ten years from 1825-1875. They skipped 1885, then did a skimpy one in 1892 that missed many counties (including Columbia) and omitted large portions of the counties that were included. They resumed in 1905 and took censuses for 1915 and 1925. Later censuses are kept secret for about 75 years, I believe. There were some colonial censuses done for particular Towns or cities. Try these two links from my website. They are to general information about NY censuses. http://home.eznet.net/~halsey/NY/ny-census.htm http://www.nygbs.org/info/articles/NYS_census_contents.html Or, visit my website to look at the 64 links to online NY census results. They are organized by counties. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/ Cliff Sarah Clevenger wrote: > Does New York have a state census? > > Thanks for your help. > > Sarah Clevenger > > ==== Dutch-Colonies Mailing List ==== > To Unsubscribe from this mailing list, Send message to: > Dutch-Colonies-request@rootsweb.com ONLY Message; unsubscribe > For problems; contact hollyft@bright.net > > ============================== > Create a FREE family website at MyFamily.com! > http://www.myfamily.com/banner.asp?ID=RWLIST2
